nantucket

William Carlos Williams


Pencereden görünen çiçekler
lavanta ve sarı

değişen beyaz perdelerden-
temizlik kokusu-

İkindi güneşi-
Cam tepsi üzerindeki

cam sürahi, ters çevrilmiş
bardak ve

yanında da bir anahtar- Ve
tertemiz beyaz bir yatak




Nantucket

Flowers through the window
lavender and yellow

changed by white curtains—
smell of cleanliness—

Sunshine of late afternoon—
On the glass tray

a glass pitcher, the tumbler
turned down, by which

a key is lying—And the
immaculate white bed
